Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Nice photo! I like the lines in the bench, the tone and the shadows it created. Great editing!
I like it too Dimple. The image is a fine B&W print. The shadows and the light are rich and the composition is pleasing. You did a great job with contrast and tonality.
Thanks for dropping by my place. I got so many nice images from that one roll but I keep coming back to the Emerald Lake image too. It may be my favorite. I shot low from a crouch and I like the way the trail rises and goes off to the right. It does rise too.
Great catch! Love the back design and the photography is pretty neat too.

If I sent a hundred comments for this post I am sorry -- it would not send and give me message that it was sent for approval
That's a lovely image. I like the shadows.
I like this, you've done a great job with the cropping etc. The regular design of the bench set against all those shadows make a fine mono.
Thanks for visiting mine. Yes, it's the same place as the one I posted last week, but on the other side of the pier.
nice job, love the shadows you captured
Viewed large the detail is really crisp.
Great editing job and what a perfect shadow shot! I love it! Hope you have a great weekend, Dimple!

Very statuesque bench. Nice job! Think I'll try some monochrome stuff.
Nice selection..love the shadows and the detail in this lovely bench!
The bench casts such a strong, crisp shadow. Nice!
Love the B&W and still I can see the crispy captured shadow of that pretty bench.
Seems so alone and it need more sunshine too §;-) so people around can use it.
Happy SS
I adore the ornate wrought iron but it is the dappling of the shadows that makes this mono shot so very worth while.
That is a very nice looking bench on its own. The sun is not strong enough to make for a warm seating now, but the bench will be in use soon. The B&W allows for a well defined shadow.
We all await Spring...
Beautiful shadow shot!

Great pic and shadow, nice in b/w.
What a beautiful bench. I like the shadows. You have done a great editing job.
Thanks for stopping by.

I like it too. Redfilter was a good idea, it brings out the light very well!
The monochrome certainly creates a whole scene of shadows at play! Lovely photo!
There's something about a bench in black and white. I love it!
Nice ... well done!
I like it too! There's a certain peace to it.
The bench features simple lines and angles and offers a nice clear shadow.
Very serene scene you've captured, Dimple.
And, I like it three! Very complex shadows which means there is a lot around that bench. What a lovely place to relax and just let the world go by.
Hey thanks about the lighting comment. I was trying to both magnify the subject yet soften what I detest- cars, trucks, telephone wires and streets- I had this in my draft for a month (lol).. I suppose to certain businesses, aesthetics matter and others find it impossible? Anyway, have a great weekend-
I like it as well ;-)
Makes me want to sit a while ... just because.
Beautiful shadows and highlights!
Hugs and blessings,
Thanks for the link to see the white bench in Canada. it is a magnificent view that little white bench has!
I can't make any educated comments on the quality of the photograph - just that it is lovely and has a certain poignancy to it. I think I'd like to sit here and dream for a while.
I think benches are beautiful! Very, very nice : )
This bench with ornamental back, arms, and legs is very 'inviting'; on a sunny day sitting upon it offers the advantage of good shadow.
As usual, your capture is fascinating.
I like the design on the back of the bench.
That is one monochrome bench to be proud of.
